Re: Hagon progressive springs
How is a Newton equivalent to a kg mm^-1 at all? 0.9kg/mm will be near to 9N/mm, not newtons. Newton is force, not rate.
SI unit for spring rate is N/m

Re: Hagon progressive springs
Aye ive figured that out... Its the idiots at K-tech that list them as just N, not N/mm. Urg. So I presume now that they mean N/mm.
Been a while since I done my Physics A-level so I had to do a little reading up ha ha. |

Re: Hagon progressive springs
This is why I said to be carefull , we have loads of Torque settings in work and a lot of people don`t check what it says after the N/ <---- we have CM , MM etc and people have got it wrong and have risked lives because of this .

Re: Hagon progressive springs
you won't get a reply off Blue i'm afraid
 Progressives are great with 15W oil, linear well. . .Personally I'm not getting on, but thats because since having the washers pulled out of the forks that were preload and 10W oil put in, they aren't happy. When they're set up properly,and heavier oil, they behave.(not like the bouncy castle at the mo) theres not much difference IMO. I have both, so can easily compare.

Re: Hagon progressive springs
cheers steve,will give them a mail tomorrow. Used to have them in my curvy just got a pointy and wish they were in!
considering oil viscositys now though... had 15 in before and they were slightly harsh (but the bike handles well) wondering what to use in the faired pointy... might try a 12.5
